Fabulous blueprint! Thank you for putting this together. You’ve helped me save so much time configuring our home alarm. Two Ring v2’s with V2.0.0 firmware working perfectly
Just a thank you for the Blueprint. I thought I’d made a mistake, got in a hurry. My zooz 800 stick showed up today, already had a keypad, I couldn’t resist the price for $25. Added the zooz, keypad paired easy enough, the hurry part or I think, was I integrated it with Z-wave-js. Maybe not a mistake. Nothing broken, it works with Alarmo. Thank you again!
question I have my ring keypad integrated with zwave legacy, does it need to be integrated/synced with zwave-js to be able to use the police,fire and medical buttons?
No, you should be fine. The standard ZwaveJS add on has all the same functionality - these days, it’s just missing the nice UI you get with ZwaveJS UI. But if it’s paired and functioning, there’s no need to change.
ok well, I can’t get my fire, police, and medical buttons to do anything with the blueprint. I made a simple notification and tested it and nothing happened.
Did you hold down the fire button until all the lights go out? The keypad doesn’t sent an event when you first press it.
did not know that. it works. is there a way to press it once for action instead of hold. making it for my kids in case of an emergency?
You can reduce the hold time for those buttons by adjusting configuration parameter 7, but at least on the firmware versions I have access to you can’t reduce it below 2 seconds.
Hi ! first of all! amazing BP!!
love it!
maybe a silly question… when a smoke zwave detecter activated in ALARMO… there is no connection to the RING keypad? I can’t turn off the alarm only if the alarm is not yet in some alarm mode .
will be great is the alarmo can activate the RING keypad too.
Sorry, I don’t think I understand. Could you be more specific about what’s happening, and what you expect should happen?
Thanks so much for that Bp
a question here : for those who have alarmo to expand ring alarm (more sensors etc that normally will not work with ring)
is there a way to make the keypad disarm both systems??
my understanding that the keypad can not be paired to to networks at the same time
but it could be an automation to send keys stroke to disarm the system instead
Hello, as I am just starting to work with HA my question might be stupid. I try to integrate Ring keypad Gen#2 via Zwave in HA. I manage to get it running in HA, but then it does not work anymore in the Ring App. Means either I can integrate in HA or in Ring App. Both at same time is not possible. Is this normal?
Yes, completely normal. If you’re looking to integrate a full Ring alarm system into HA, you want Ring-MQTT. This blueprint is for using the keypad without the rest of the system (and it’s associated subscription fees).
Thank you for your quick reply. May be I can use 2 keypads. One in HA and the other for operation via Ring App ( as family members prefer Ring App). Seems I need to study more :-). Happy Easter.
Is it normal behaviour that the exit delay has to finish before the keypad tells you there are open sensors? I’m not sure if i have something setup incorrectly. I get a notification on my phone saying it failed to arm but the panel finishes the count down.
All this blueprint does is reflect Alarmo’s state. What’s going on here is that you have “Use exit delay” turned on in the advanced settings for the sensor(s) in question. That tells Alarmo that someone leaving home is expected to trip those sensors in the process of leaving, so it has no way to know until the delay expires that they’re tripped because they’re left open, rather than as a part of someone leaving.
Turn that setting off for the sensor, and it’ll notify you immediately if it’s open when you try to arm the system.
how can I adapt this to use the Aqara M1S alarm system?
I’ve tried to set the Intergration to homekit_device, but it still cannot find the alarm system.
EDIT:
Kinda janky but I created Manual alarm panel and created an automation to change the alarm status of the M1S, since it doesn’t have a code to sync with.
How can I get the countdown red lightbar to work and also change the away mode buttons colour to red?

It would probably be worth starting a separate thread, and providing more information about your setup and what you’re trying to accomplish. I’m not at all familiar with the Aqara alarm, and don’t want to derail this thread.
Does anyone ever have reliability issues with their Ring Keypads? I have two in my house, and it seems like about 1 in 20 times they don’t correctly sync or transmit commands to Home Assistant. It manifests sometimes as the command executing (ie, Arming the alarm for home) but not updating the state of the keypad, or not sending the command to Home assistant at all (frustrating when the disarm timer is counting down and entering the disarm code doesn’t seem to do anything).
I’ve tried healing the nodes in Zwave JS UI, but I have a lot of zwave devices in my home (including right near the keypads) and they are all rock solid except for these two keypads.
So two questions: Has anyone else experienced this and if so found a solve, and seperately, is there anyway for this blueprint to occasionally check proactively if the keypad is out of sync with Alarmo state and try and correct it? That would at least help solve the “keypad state didn’t update correctly” part.
